Ultimately, she discovered that while the Ming Dynasty had wild grapes on their mountains, no one had ever planted them.
This allowed her to discover a business opportunity.
On the way back, she suddenly realized that her faith had soared. While absorbing it, she checked the specific situation through her interspace.
Zhou Ying soon found the reason, and to put it bluntly, it was mainly the lightning that struck King Hui.
Because of this, the county magistrate took over the construction site of the river embankment and doubled the compensation for the laborers who had died before.
As soon as the news spread, not to mention the people under the Hui Prince, even those ruffians and tyrants retracted their claws and trembled in fear.
Therefore, people trusted Mother God even more and prayed ever so faithfully.
At night, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about her punishing King Hui and how Chen Peng went to look for Gu Ziyi.
Gu Chengrui was surprised when he heard that. “Chen Peng’s is sure dense. Did he make trouble for the patriarch’s family?”
“Not for the time being, or maybe he’s incapable of that.
“However, I have already given them protective talismans, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Okay, please take a look at them every day.” Gu Chengrui smiled. “By the way, when I went to the office today, I heard that King Hui was summoned back by the Emperor.”
“I think it has something to do with that memorial.”
“He is too ruthless. This person must not become the emperor. Otherwise, those who oppose him will all be executed.”
“Indeed, he is even more ruthless than the current emperor.
“I’m sure the Emperor is aware of this too. When King Hui returned, he might go to the extreme.”
“You mean he might try killing his father?”
“That’s right. The Emperor has been suppressing the First Prince’s faction recently.
“The Empress and King Prince are getting suffocated, and I’m sure this is very irritating to them. Otherwise, the Empress wouldn’t have created trouble for us at the banquet last time.”
“That’s true. With the Empress’ shrewdness, she wouldn’t make things difficult for me in public. Oh, right. Did King Kang cause you any trouble these past two days?” Zhou Ying asked.
“I’ve been avoiding him, so I didn’t run into him. However, he sent someone to the manor to learn greenhouse planting techniques from me.
“In my opinion, he’s just someone there to spy on me and sweet-talk me. As long as we were alone, he constantly praised King Kang and how much Princess Pingyang supported him back then.
“He would also proclaim how filial he was to Princess Pingyang and so on.
“It’s getting a little annoying.”
“Just be careful these days. Don’t fall into his trap or let him catch something he can use against us.” Zhou Ying suddenly asked, “By the way, how’s Lord Zhao? He didn’t cause trouble for you, right?”
“He is now a tiger without claws. He looks mighty, but the Emperor is closely monitoring him.
“Most importantly, I heard that his wife and children are getting on his nerves. They are starting to bully the concubines he left in Pingyang Province.
“Their days must be getting difficult, so Chen Peng shamelessly went to our hometown to rely on the Gu Family again.”
Zhou Ying nodded. “When you return to the manor, bring Niu Fugui. If he passes your test, you can let him be our butler.
“Uncle Zhou can manage the family, but he’s getting too old to be presentable to the public.”
“Alright, I’ll try to find out more about him. If he’s usable, you can also relax a little.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.
The couple washed up, and Zhou Ying spread her divine sense to scan the residence. After confirming nothing was unusual, she brought Gu Chengrui into her interspace..
